Dan you may have been asked this before, but what tab program are you using? Or is it tabulature from scratch? Either way it is very clear and clean. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Johnny,

I use SIbelius, which is really not too welll set up for tab, but very good for standard notation. I should probably switch to something simpler, but I like to do the transcription as far as I can first by ear, then fill in what I can't get at the steel. For that, it's useful to have a good straight notation program. On the down side though, it does tab very stupidly, and doesn't take pedals or levers into account. So, for example, when I want to indicate the note A on the third string at the 12th fret, Sibelius automatically puts it at the 13th fret(!), so I have to go in and manually change the 13 to 12 and add in "B" for the pedal.
